Myself and Danzig were right on about this race being totally different than the rest of the T.C. RACES. People ignore history every time. This isn't the other 2 legs. I'M A LOSER LIKE EVERYONE ELSE (all I bet was the 2nd n' 3rd place horses in the double.) Couldn't get the Tara horse. Good job by Zito. Same old thing. Fresh Zito with a distance sire. BROWN WAS RANK EARLY TODAY. Wasn't himself from 50 feet out of the gate.

I thought he would win but I haven't been this happy watching a horse lose in my life. Dutrow is an idiot with no respect for the sport.

scuds, i swear i don't know how many times i've been saying it's not a sure thing. been here before, done all this before.

big brown was no bid, no riva ridge, no canonero, swale, silver charm. and they came so close as well. the gods giveth, and the gods taketh away. i have never been so relieved about a horse race ever. big brown was a pretender, a wannabe, who was lucky more than good. well, his luck ran out.

so, dutrow now gets to stfu. guaranteed a win. what a blowhard.

The race was a disgrace, Big Brown obviously has some issue, Zito deserves credit for running, the guy always shows up.

He absolutely does deserve credit for showing up. Zito does it the way I would like them all to do. Forget about the competition. Prepare your horse to run a race and when he's ready for it, run him. Don't ever let one horse scare you from a spot. Three or four, that's different. But never one.

zito is in the hof for dammed good reason, altho personally i felt anak had the better shot of the two. good for lapenta as well.

This makes up for Zito and Lapenta losing their 2 year old champion to injury.
